SELLA CONTROLS has been awarding the contract to deliver the Building Management Systems (BMS) and SCADA Systems for the S1 and S2 Section Tunnels for HS2 (High Speed 2 Limited).
The contract has been awarded by the main works civil contractor for this section of the railway. Skanska Costain Strabag Joint Venture (SCS JV) are in the process of construction works that includes two tunnel sections. These are the Northolt Tunnel and the Euston Tunnel.
Each Tunnel consists of a number of ventilation shafts and portals that require BMS SCADA to monitor and deliver performance information both locally and to a central Engineering Management System.
The contract requires SELLA CONTROLS to undertake the complete design, including equipment selection, engineering, implementation, factory integration testing, installation and commissioning of eleven independent BMS SCADA applications. The project commenced in August and will run through to the completion of Skanska Costain Strabag JV’s main works program once all of the installations have been handed back to HS2.

Dylibso, Inc., a leading provider of software development tools & applications to accelerate the WebAssembly deployment,
“Dylibso ModSurfer Brings SCADA Controls to WebAssembly
"Our goal is to provide Webassembly with a level of observability similar to what you are accustomed to with tools like DataDog or New Relic," said Dylibso's Steve Manuel told TNS.
Our goal is to provide Webassembly with a level of observability similar to what you are accustomed to with tools like DataDog or New Relic,” said Steve Manuel, CEO and co-founder of Dylibso, in an interview with TNS. “However, traditional SCADA (Supervisory Control and Data Acquisition) systems are not compatible with the unique characteristics of WebAssembly. The isolation mechanisms employed by WebAssembly effectively prevent external entities from inspecting and monitoring its internal operations.”
In March, the company released ModSurfer, a system-of-record and diagnostics application to search, browse, validate, audit and investigate WebAssembly binaries.
